Fools Rush In
Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra & Frank Sinatra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

The second verse takes another turn, as the singer suggests that wise men don't fall in love at all, leaving them incapable of understanding the rush of emotions he's experiencing. His declaration that his life began when he met the object of his affection adds to the sense of urgency in the lyrics. Finally, the singer implores his lover to open their heart and let him in, despite the warning signs and risks that come with rushing into a relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of "Fools Rush In" explore the idea of taking risks in matters of the heart. The song acknowledges the dangers and risks of falling in love too quickly, but the singer is unable to resist because of the power of his feelings.

Thank you for your uploading the lyrics.
This song was referred to by a Japanese band 'The Spiders' along with the early Rock'n Roll era 60's.

The main melody sounds quite similar to "Fools Rush In" but the chord progression of the side-guitar gives much more modern impression than the original. It must have been a newer rendering the melody-line of the song.
I love them both.
@Harrisonianne
@@radiocommander maybe they took the Ricky Nelson version of this song as basis (?

I used to strictly be a 'Ring-a-Ding-Ding' era frank fan, but I'm beginning to agree with you.
@Mr.SLovesTheSacredHeartofJesus
Agreed, he seems almost human pre-war.
